It is shameful to be compelled to record the fact, but information comes to the General Office that members holding traveiing cards are soliciting aid from Local Assemblies more as business than because of real necessity. Dead beats of this kind can be checked in their petty swlndling, if an endorsement is made on the back of the travelling card of the amount and date of each dona- ton. Then, when application is made to another Local, it will appear how much necessity there is for the aid asked. Do not let any worthy case go unalded, but beware of dead beats. -Jonrna of iNited Labor (h. Ct 4. oGcjaD.

"zENO" AND TRADE UNIONS.

To the Worknlen' 8 Adrocate:
 l believe, with the WoRKMEN's Apvo- CATE, that Socialists and Trade Unionists will sometime be harmonized. In criti- clzlng trade unions. do not condemn their existence; only their methods. I take the following from the Chicago Her0ld.
 The Painters Assembly has recently raised its imitation fed from two dollars to ten dollars thus making it practically impossible for many painters to hacome members of the association These men flock into the mixed assemblies whose initiation fee is on average one dollar only, in the hope of being transferred to their craft assembly without expense"
 If one dollar makes complete Knight of Labor, then the ten dollar fee is blackmail. And when the painters re solve to treat as scabs good one dollar members, they violate the principles of the K, of l.. and Socialism. We should light monopoly wherever we find it. The k. of L. and Socialism are nearer Tn harmony, both antagonizing the old exclusive spirit of trade unions.

 And how can a country be rich in capital without running by degrees the very source of all wealth, the working force of the people, if it never gets fully back what it has lost in value in wages or earnings :? The outcome of this exploitation can be no other than in the case of the soil which is rendered barren by continued crops without the full restitution of all its elements of fer tility. Capital itself must ultimately become valueless, because so many people are utterly impoverished that the few capitalists left can neither sell their buildings, lands, machines, etc., nor the products of the same; capital will ultimately have to dwin- de by supporting whole people of proletarians.

ONE. GOOD EFFECT.

One of the first fruits of the Inter- State Commerce bill, imperfect aS it Is, may be seen in the exhibitions of the influence of free passes upon our lawmakers in their neglect to curb the rapacity of railroad companies. The annual passes of forty Illinois legislators were recently cancelled as the new law required, and a bill was immediately introduced to forbid the railroads in that State from charging more than two cents per mile for passengers, the rate being now three cents. This giving free passes to legislators is nothing less than a mild effort at bribery and should be so considered. Still, there are men who might accept all the railroad would give and yet remain entirely unintiuenced as far as pub lie duty was concerned. But 1t Is safer to abolish the temptation. As for the law itself-while 1t may be potent in little things, it will be-a failure where larger interests are at stake. for the execution of the law will be left in the keeping of men selected by the corporations.

A BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK.
Bad Effect of BrOadclOth on a Man
 Who Wore the Blue.

The old saying about the evil re- suits consequent upon straddling the spinal column of an equine quadru- ped by beggar seems to have been verified in the case of Amos J. Cum mings, ex-typo, ex-gentleman, jour nalist, editor and tool of the "demo- cratic" crowd of New York "society saviors."
 "Twenty years ago, says the New York Leader, "Amos J. Cummings tramped the streets of New York, decking his tattered garments in well-worn soldiers cloak. He was then a simple proletaire hunting for a job at the case, but withal a gentle man. Now that he wears broad ccloth and has joined the society savior" mob the gentlemanly trait in his character has become obliter- ated."
 It appears that Cummings is the editor of the Eeening ,Sun, a new sheet that looks something like Da- na's sheet, and very likely is owned by that individual. Mir. Charles F. Wingate, a member of the Labor Party, chanced to meet Cummings at the New Amsterdam Club, and as the Leader says, proceeded to work Cummings for an editorial mo- tice in favor of the Tenement bills passage" and started off with con- plimentary word or two and sug, gested that Cummings paper should be more friendly to the laboring people than Dana's Sun. There upon, it is reported, Cummings launched out in stream of vile and p-ofane epithets against the labor paper, The Leader, and its editor. He threatened, says our informant, to "crush the Leader," and presumed upon his membership in the Typo graphical Union to back him up be- cause "I've always paid my dues"
 Such a vulgar exhibition of pas sion could only come from cad, and Mir. Cummings will find that the mere paying of fifty cents a month into the unions treasury will not bribe intelligent printers to back him up in the service of the ene- mics of Organized Labor.
 As to his virulent attack upon Labor's daily paper, it would be an everlasting shame to the working men of New York if they permitted a hireling of Capital to succeed in 'crushing" the Leader, no matter what influence he may possess in the way of 'boodle."

REPTILE ENEMIES.

''G' '@@ IiN- WI t-o'
 As time passes and the organlza- tion of the working people progresses, one can see the anxiety of the con scrvators of the present order of things to have the labor movement kept out of political channels. La bor's greatest enemies arc quite wll- ling to concede the right of working men to ''organize for their own pro- tectlon,' but they oppose most fran tically any tactics that promise protection to the laborers, with any show of fulfllment.
 The conductors of great enterprises are much quicker to perceive the drift of events which affect their particular interests than the work CTS. The former are experts, and they have the time at their disposal to study cause and effect. That working people will form organlza- tions they fully recognize, and they know they cannot prevent the phe- nomena. But they still hope to be able to guide the organizations in harmless channels. For this pur- pose superstition, prejudice, avarlce, every evil passion that may be aroused in the simple mind of the workers is appealed to through the corrupt press, whether it be of the openly capitalistic kind or of the reptile sort, sailing under the banner of labor, but conducted by supicious looking genluses, bedaubed with the mud of old-fashioned ward politics.
 Nor are the resources of the capi- talist confined to the press in the exercise of their influence over the laboring people. The organizations themselves are invaded, and unscrup- ulous adventures entrusted with the delicate task of casting suspicion upon true and tried labor reformers who call things by their right names and honestly warn their fellow work CTS of the dangers and wrongs of the capitalist system. The tools of Cap ital, taking advantage of the preju dices created by Labor's enemies. use the word Socialist as an cpl thet in order to weaken the influence of the class of men who are most faithfully serving their fellows, and consequently hated by the employers of the adventurous in truders.
 Of course, only the most ignorant and corruptible are influenced by the trlcksters, but 1t Is to ignorance and corruption that these people must appeal to do their vile work. For tunately, intelligence among the workers Is on the increase, and the baneful influence of the capitalists inside workers can only be effective where and while ignorance and fool ish prejudice exist.
 With the progress of the labor movement comes brighter day, ant the motives of the false teachers be come transparent. And even if tn, laws of the organizations into whicl they have crept are not strong enougl

THE THREATENED DANGER,

hidh' Nl ldl Spiii'hIH Vp d'Sti'l pi'' influence of the new Labor Party by a determined effort to divide the organized forces of the workers, in view of future political contests.
 Where "rcpubicans' chance to be in the ascendancy, it will be the republican" hecIers who will make 1t their business to corrupt weak llngs in Labor's ranks; and where the "democratlc" party IS in control, their sChemcrs and hcclers will very naturally not be slow to adopt simi- lar tactics wherever they find their existence as a party menaced by the growing young giant.
 While there was nothing to fear from the Labor Party before it had made itself a history--those who were active in its organization were simply despised and subjected to rid icuIe But the unanswerabIc ar guments in favor of such move ment were more potent than the weak dcnunclatlons of the corrupt party heclcrs, and the working mems political movement grcwapace.
 The exhibition of healthy de- yclopmont in the new party in late contests has now thoroughly aroused labor's enemies, and the signs are not wanting that vigorous measures are being adopted in the hope of de- morallzing the rank of the working people.
 How can this be accomplished :? "Dividc and conquer is their motto, and nothing is easier in the estimation of the schcmcrs. Their tools must gain admission to the councils of the Labor Party, and weak and corruptible members must be found to carry on the work of destruction; or, if opportunity of- fers, a new diversion must be inau- gurated-~a new "labor" party or ganized under the direction of "democratic' or "republican" heel CTS, who, with hypocritical protcs- tatlons of loyalty to the work ingmen will endeavor to deliver their dupcs, body and brooches, into the hands of their chiefs, the capltalistic man agcrs of the old party machines.
 We notice i'll several of our rela- ble exchanges that such schemes are being enacted in various localities, and by the tone of our esteemed contemporaries from Chicago, Gin cinnati, Cleveland, Philadelphia wherever there are efforts made for an honest, political labor movement. that there are traitors and spies ready to do the bidding of their un- worthy masters.
 Therefore we add our warning to that of our friends. and request a little careful study and thought on the part of our readers upon the subject. It should not be difficult to distinguish between the real and the counterfeit. The honest Labor voter will not be found hanging around the caucuSes of the corrup- tionists, much less taking part in "democratlc" or republican" con ventions. He will not be elected by the wire-pullers as q delegate to |. corrupt party nominating conyon- tion. Nor will he on one pretext or another advocate the election of some republican" or "democratic candidate. Such actions bctray the political hecler, and the Labor party cannot in justice to its faithful mem bers tolerate them.

The permitted presence at the Cincinnatt convention of such we'll worn and well-known tools of "dem- ocratic" boodlers as w. A. A. Car sey. Lee Crandall and others of their ilk, moves the Hartford E.r0miHer to say:
 "We cannot imagine on what basis of policy or reasoning such adventurers as Crandall are ever permitted into a Labor reform gathering, after they have once exhibited their treacherous depravity And there are reformers there who have lorg known him and his utter lack of principle.
 "Basls of policy or reasoning, :" forsooth . Almost the whole con- ventlon was there on the same terms as the scoundrels mentioned, and no one had the authority, or the audac- itv. to take the objectionable crea- lures by the nape of the neck and ''bounce" them. But we hardly think that they can repeat their old games successfully. They are known, and being known, harmless. Still, it may be well to pass their pictures around from time to time.

The Norning Ners says that the Labor Party in New York city are not to be congratulated on the accession to their ranks of cx-Sheriff O'Brien. They probably do not congratulate themselves. Of course the Labor Party cannot prevent former poiti- cal wire-pullers from voting the Labor ticket, but they look to the honest rank and file of the old par ties for additions to their ranks. The reason most frequently given for neglecting to join our ranks is "you cant accomplish your objects, " and "the workingmcn won't stick togcther,' But the deep concern of the politicians should be sufficient evidence that the Labor Party is menacing the machines of the old parties, and that to that extent, at least, we have accomplished some thing.

"ZENO REPLIES.

The WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE has replied to my criticism of its trade union proclivities. The defense is that when q publisher uses "plates" he is using labor-saving machinery to "eXploit" laborers. He would ex ploit them in the same manner by refusing to double the size of his publication, did the union demand it. Union men should demand that all standing advertisements shall be distributed and set up for every edi- ton. This would create a demand for typos. A standing form should be as objectionable as 8 plate. The ADVOCATE thinks that wealth used to "make money" is not personal wealth. l never supposed that So cialsm drew the line in that way. l supposed that public wealth is rep resented by those institutions that must be used by all, as railroads, etc. was taught that all men have a right to land and might gather whatever wealth he could earn. upon his share of ground, and call it his own. He could procure a box and use it. as his own, for a pulpit, and shout his ideas to any who cared to listen: or he could earn q press, print his ideas ond distribute them to any who would read. never supposed that the State should mon opolize newspapers, and therefore ideas. It is not Socialism.
 an not opposed to the existence of trade unions; but when they pro- pose measures as remedies, that know are not remedies, want to say so And many do propose these things as remedies instead of expe- dients, having no faith in the real remedy. Bottlemakers demand that secondhand bottles be not used, but broken; printers exclude plates. Neither measure is justiiiable even as an expedient, if it makes other laborers pay more for bottles ol papers. -"/en0' iR .Idr0Nce.
